Tang San's Third Soul Ring!

"Ning Rongrong, why did you come out of his tent?"

Oscar could hardly believe his eyes. He was completely dumbfounded, his eyes wide as lanterns. Behind him, Ma Hongjun covered his mouth and snickered.

"Do I need your opinion on what I do?"

"What's it to you?"

Ning Rongrong's offhand words were like a sharp sword, plunging straight into Oscar's little heart. That was right-what was it to him?

Oscar's mouth fell open, confusion clouding his eyes. Dai Mubai knew that feeling all too well. For a moment, the two shared the same plight, wanting to cry but having no tears.

Ning Rongrong couldn't be bothered with him anymore. A smile played on her lips. She had slept soundly last night; ever since leaving the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, she had never slept so comfortably.

At the thought, Ning Rongrong's little face flushed red. Her elegant, noble blue dress still carried the lingering warmth and distinctive scent of someone's quilt.

Hehe, this is so embarrassing~

But it really feels wonderful. One day...

Her steps were light as she began to think about her plans for the future. As comfortable as last night had been, it had one drawback.

And that drawback was that there had been one extra person in the tent.

Ning Rongrong would have been even happier without Zhu Zhuqing there!

Not bothering to give a damn about Oscar's dejection, Ning Rongrong simply asked him to move aside. He obediently made way, letting her skip off with a bashful look on her face.

"Little Ao, I know what you mean. I know you've developed feelings, but now isn't the time..."

Dai Mubai walked over to Oscar and patted him on the shoulder, putting on the air of someone who had been through it all.

He had to admit, seeing Dai Mubai, an even funnier joke, immediately cheered Oscar's dejected heart.

After all, Dai Mubai was fine even after his fiancée had run off with someone else. Oscar merely had a secret crush, so what was there to fear?

Dai Mubai: "?"

Wait...

I'm comforting you, and you're laughing at me?!

Sensing that something was wrong, Dai Mubai's expression, which had been struggling to hold back a laugh, went rigid as an iron plate.

"Ah, that felt wonderful~"

"Mm, it really did!"

The next second, Tianyu slowly emerged from the tent with Zhu Zhuqing. Breathing in the fresh air outside, he felt refreshed and couldn't help expressing his feelings.

Little Kitty felt the same way and chimed in. Never mind how much fun the fierce battle last night had been; even her sleep had been exceptionally peaceful.

But the moment she said that, Dai Mubai misunderstood. He froze on the spot. The tables had turned, and now Oscar was the one holding back a laugh.

"Huh? Why are you all standing at the entrance? Is something the matter?"

"No, nothing. Sorry to bother you, sorry to bother you~" Ma Hongjun hurriedly called out, yanking Dai Mubai back and heading toward Zhao Wuji.

"Fatty, why did you stop me?"

"Boss Dai, cut it out. You can't beat him!" Ma Hongjun spoke the honest truth with a perfectly serious face.

Dai Mubai snorted coldly and slowly came to accept it all. He closed his eyes and began to curse inwardly.

But no matter what, it couldn't change the fact that he was a useless husband. Tianyu, on the other hand, had gained several dozen Fortune Points for nothing!

"Master~ Tang San has already started teaching me Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track."

"How did he suddenly see the light today? This is great! Xiao Wu will definitely teach it to you when the time comes..."

"Master, make sure you think of a reward! Next time, Xiao Wu will use more than just her mouth~"

Tianyu visibly froze for an instant. Hearing Xiao Wu's words through the Soul Contract, his eyes lit up at once.

This sect slave has actually started teaching someone else a Tang Sect secret art?

Is this for real?

Tianyu sucked in a breath of cold air, calling it terrifying indeed. Sure enough, after last night's tragedy, Tang San was thoroughly worried. He really was a devoted man~

Unfortunately.

Xiao Wu had completely and utterly become his Contract Beast, from head to toe, inside and out!

This was a good thing~

No wonder I used up so many Fortune Points last night. Looks like fortune helped out too!

I'd better save up more Fortune Points in my account from now on, in case something unexpected happens and I can't activate Fortune's Child Mode.

Tianyu thought to himself, then took some dry rations and meat from his storage bracelet. The meat had all been freshly carved from Thousand-Year Soul Beasts yesterday. It was very fresh and tender.

With a soft puff-

A flame flickered to life in Tianyu's palm. Now that his spiritual power had grown stronger, it took less than ten breaths to roast the fresh steaks.

Paired with the milk tea Zhu Zhuqing had brought, the meal smelled so delicious as soon as it was served that even the children next door were crying with craving.

After finishing a meal that served as both breakfast and lunch, Tian Yu roasted three more portions. Of the first two, he gave one to Ning Rongrong to raise her affection and set the other aside for Xiao Wu.

As for the last portion, Tianyu gave it to Zhao Wuji. At first, he hadn't had a particularly favorable impression of the Immovable Wisdom King; in fact, it had been a little poor.

But when the Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, the Titan Giant Ape, attacked last night, Zhao Wuji had shown no fear, activating his Martial Soul Avatar and charging straight at it. He was a qualified teacher, at least.

That was much better than a certain old man from the Douluo II era!

"Thanks, Xiao Tian. This meat really is good. I've taught at Shrek Academy for so many years, and I don't know how long it's been since I had meat this good."

"It's all that old fellow Flender's fault, hahaha."

Zhao Wuji laughed heartily. There were two or three palm-sized steaks.

He polished them off in a few bites, grease coating his mouth and his whole body brimming with vigor.

Seeing this, Dai Mubai and the other two subconsciously swallowed. Then they looked down at the dry rations in their hands, sighed deeply, and gnawed on them dry.

Time passed...

In the blink of an eye, another day and night went by. After spending a long time lingering on the outskirts of the Star Dou Great Forest, the group finally found a suitable Soul Beast for Tang San-

A highly venomous spider around 1,500 years old!

Zhao Wuji had actually been somewhat opposed to this Soul Beast, but Tang San insisted on it. He had a persistent premonition that a spider-type Soul Beast would be perfect for him.

It was as though some treasure lay within the spider-type Soul Beasts, and he absolutely could not give up.

Unfortunately, Tang San's carefully laid plans ultimately came to nothing. The spider-type Soul Beast he had a premonition about, the Man Faced Demon Spider, had long since been killed by Tianyu.

Its Soul Ring and External Soul Bone had both been condensed into the Heaven-Breaking Stone!

It was worth mentioning that, compared to the Man Faced Demon Spider in the original story, which was over 2,000 years old, the venomous spider Tang San absorbed was only around 1,500 years old.

As a result, this Soul Ring's effect was quite ordinary. It could also spray out a giant web, but the web's range only covered two or three people.

Compared with the wide-ranging Spider Web Restraint in the original story, this Soul Skill was simply inadequate. As for the so-called deadly venom...

Tang San: "?????"

"What's going on? Why is it that after absorbing my Third Soul Ring and breaking through to become a level 30 Soul Elder..."

"I keep feeling like my Martial Soul, Blue Silver Grass, has become more and more fragile?"

"Why on earth is this happening?!"
